Color pallet

I built a student dashboard. How did I choose the colours?

1. First, by understanding colour psychology, I wanted my users to feel safe and experience growth. With this in mind, I chose teal for the UI, as it lies between green and blue—colours that represent growth and safety, respectively.
2. When building for accessibility, I used dark blue for the fonts to maintain colour consistency, as it also works well with a light teal background. Initially, I chose white as the background, but then I thought using a monochromatic colour scheme might create a more cohesive and consistent look.
3. For the CTA, I used green to make it stand out, as it provides good contrast and accessibility with both teal and light teal backgrounds.
4. I used dark green for the borders, and for the sidebar, I used a light teal tint—just enough to be visible without drawing too much attention.

I tried my best to create a better dashboard with well-reasoned colour choices. I may have made some beginner mistakes, but I'm eager to learn and grow. If you notice anything I could improve, please don’t hesitate to share. Thank you!
